On this edition of What's At Stake, Bryan DeAngelis is joined by Julia Decerega and Rustin Finkler, two directors at Penta Strategy, and Meredith McCleary, an associate and podcast producer at Penta, to discuss the economics, geopolitics, and business challenges of the 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup.Controversy has dogged this World Cup from the moment former FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced in 2010 that Qatar would host it in 2022.  The group not only breaks down the money behind the biggest event in soccer, but also tackles the stakeholder risks and opportunities for businesses looking to sponsor  similar events. How are advertisers and other businesses navigating these challenges? And what should business leaders take away from their experiences?The group discusses the main criticisms of the tournament, the economic payoff of hosting the World Cup, and the cost of hosting similar events. Plus, the group shares hopes and predictions for the future of American soccer fandom when the World Cup comes to North America in 2026.

In this episode, A'ndre and Ryan talk to NYT reporter and author Ken Bensinger about  FIFA and the corruption surrounding the World Cup. Ken's 2018 book, Red Card,  explores the U.S.-led corruption case into FIFA that upended the world of international football. The conversation begins with Ken explaining the significance of football and the power of FIFA. We then dig into the rise of former FIFA President Sepp Blatter and how commercial success led to the growth of corruption. The episode concludes with Ken's perspective on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and why FIFA's efforts to increase transparency and accountability are just window dressing.   To learn more, check out Red Card: How the U.S. Blew the Whistle on the World's Biggest Sports Scandal and the Netflix docuseries FIFA Uncovered.

As the World Cup kicks off Delyth Lloyd is joined by the BBC's Sports News Correspondent Alex Capstick to examine a range of issues that have overshadowed Qatar 2022, starting with the initial awarding of the tournament, which the former Fifa President Sepp Blatter has since told the BBC was a “mistake”. Yasmine Ahmed from Human Rights Watch joins us to talk about the conditions for migrant workers in the country and says while they have improved, more must be done to compensate workers, and the families of those that have been injured or died in the country. Dr Nasser Mohamed, a gay Qatari now living in the USA, opens up about his experience growing up as a gay man in Qatar, and explained what he hopes to achieve by founding the “Proud Maroons”, a LGBTQI+ fans group for the country's national team. We also examine the claims around the environmental impact of the tournament, which Fifa insists will be the first carbon-neutral World Cup, and hear from leading environmentalists who've told the BBC that claim is "dangerous and misleading". And we assess what impact hosting the tournament has had on the country, and what legacy Qatar's Supreme Committee and Fifa hope it will leave behind.

In the first of our daily FIFA World Cup 2022 betting tips, host Carl Lewis is joined by coach and analyst Grant de Smidt and punter David Kappel.   The podcast includes a tactical preview, predictions and betting tips.   Qatar is the smallest country to ever host the FIFA World Cup but easily the most controversial; accusations of bribery and corruption surfaced soon after FIFA awarded them hosting rights in 2010, and since then they've faced intense pressure over several issues including their treatment of migrant workers and environmental concerns. With the country's human rights record and anti-homosexuality stance making headlines, ex-FIFA President Sepp Blatter admitted earlier this month that awarding them the tournament was “a mistake”. Whatever the rights or wrongs, for the first time nations must play a World Cup in November and December, making this unfamiliar territory for everyone and uncomfortable for many.   Under their coach of five years Félix Sánchez, the Qataris have opted for continuity and prepared for their World Cup debut by playing numerous friendlies this year, with their current six-match unbeaten run (W5, D1 – includes unofficial friendlies) starting with a creditable 2-2 draw against Chile. They've proved themselves in tournament football too by finishing third in last year's Arab Cup as hosts while they won the last edition of the Asian Cup in 2019.   That experience, as well as Copa Ámerica and Gold Cup appearances, should help them against an Ecuador side making their fourth appearance at a World Cup finals and who finished fourth in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification standings (W7, D5, L6). They've been steady in their subsequent games too (W2, D4) but with all four of those draws ending goalless, Argentine coach Gustavo Alfaro will need to find the key to unlocking their attacking potential if they're to become the first side to beat the host nation in a World Cup opener.   Another dull stalemate would be unusual as not since 1978 has the World Cup begun with a goalless draw and the era of hosts playing the first game (2006 onwards) has usually provided plenty of entertainment. Qatar will now seek to emulate Germany (W 4-2 v Costa Rica in 2006), Brazil (W 3-1 v Croatia in 2014) and Russia (W 5-0 v Saudi Arabia in 2018), who all pleased their fans while getting the tournament off to a flier.

The most powerful man in world sports. The king of international soccer. FIFA President Sepp Blatter commanded the attention of global superstars and political leaders alike during his 17-year reign. He had also survived every scandal that came his way - and there were a lot of them. He seemed to be made of teflon and then, in a blink of an eye, his luck ran out.

Statements from FIFA President Sepp Blatter at the FIFA Under 20 Women's World Cup opening press conference on Monday afternoon in Toronto.

Two days before this year’s Champions League final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich, the top two women’s clubs in Europe played on the same pitch, at Munich’s Olympic Stadium, in the final match of the Women’s Champions League. In a pairing of the defending champion, Olympique Lyon, and the club that has won the most titles in the tournament’s 11-year history, FFC Frankfurt, the French side took the cup with a 2-0 victory. The game drew just over 50,000 spectators, by far the most people ever to attend a Women’s Champions League final. UEFA officials and organizers in Munich had worked deliberately to ensure a record-breaking turnout. Match time was moved to the early evening, and special family-priced tickets were available to ensure that mothers could attend with their children. Men’s clubs in the Bundesliga have adopted similar family pricing along with other measures aimed at bringing women to the grounds. As a result, matches in the German first division draw a higher percentage of female spectators than any other European league. Add to that the large number of girls and women who play football in Germany, along with the seven European championships and three Olympic bronze medals, and the country presents an impressive picture of female involvement with the sport. This is striking, as it was only in 1970 that the German Football Association lifted its ban on women playing. Women’s soccer in the United States has had a similarly remarkable rise in the last four decades. Women weren’t banned from the game. They simply didn’t play. But with the expansion of athletics for women and girls in the Title IX era, soccer has boomed.The U.S. has become the center of the women’s soccer world, with players coming from other countries to play for American university teams and American players going overseas to play, coach, and act as advocates for girls’ sports. Tim Grainey tells the story of these women, as well as players and coaches in other world regions, in his book Beyond Bend It Like Beckham: The Global Phenomenon of Women’s Soccer (University of Nebraska Press, 2012). As a longtime journalist and organizer, Tim draws upon decades of experience in the sport.The story he tells is encouraging, showing how the profile of women’s soccer has grown. However, girls and women still face resistance to their desire to play. FIFA President Sepp Blatter has said that the future of soccer is feminine. Tim’s book shows that the statement is not simply the empty phrase of a sportocrat. At the same time, though, its fulfillment is not assured. Learn more about your ad choices.
